FALL RIVER, Mass, March 2.-lnfor-
nation has reached here from the Black
Hills OF happy ending of what has been
one of the most romantic adventures that
has ever befallen hapless woman. The
news is brought by stray copy of the
Black Hills Daily Pioneer, which reciteS
the marriage in Deadwood few weeks
ago of Mrs. Lizzie Manchester and Charles
Rosebrough. The paper congratulates Mr..
Rosebrough Oh his selection and pays
pretty compliment to the many charms Of
his bride. Mrs. Manchester is native of
this city, where she has many friends.

exhibited in passing through and oyercom-
ing vicissitudes that would have

one less courageous and confident in the
strength of her religion. She is still
! young, and it seems almost incredible that
she has borne up SO under her null
titude of trials. Her maiden name was
Manlxey, and she was raised in the family
of Stafford Road, one of the most prosper
Gus citizens engaged in manufacturing in
this place. When quite young she met
who frequented Roads house. and ulti-
mately fell in love with her. Despite the
proteStations and warning of Mr.. Road,
who was but too. well acquainted with
young Manchester'S habits, she insisted on
her course and finally married him. Man
chester, she told Mr.. Road at the time, had
promised faithfully to reform his habits and
settle down to a quiet life. Mr. Road
never forgave his advice being sighted, but
he did well by the pair. Manchester was
set up in business, and then he

of both as far as further advice or assist
ance went, For three years Manchester
kept his word and the pair resided happily
together, having two children born to them
Soon after the birth of the second one the
husband began to grow negligent and went
back to his old companions and dissipated
ways, so forgetting his family that his wife
had to take in sewing. She still loved him
and continued supporting him until she had
undeniable proof that his affections were
conferred elsewhere. Then she broke down.
She could stand anything but faithlessness,
and so she sorrowfully separated from the
man who for years she had worShiped and
served. Separation failed fully to rid her
of her prosecutors presence and as last
resort she was compelled to seek the re-

and the custody of her two children. She
was then thrown on her own resources.
Her law suit and troubles with Manchester
had impaired her health and ruined her
growing business. so that she was without a

who had virtually cast her off upon her
wedding day, she determined to seek
means of sustenance elsewhere. Through
the interceSsion of friends she had one OF
her children sent to the Chldrens home, an
admirably conducted institution here, and
the other was kindly adopted by an old
schoolmate of hers, who had married a
gentleman of the name of Drew. Leaving

as she, and she was forced to leave. and as
the winter was coming on accepted posi-

knew her, and as she during that time did
not communicate with any of her friends
here, no one knew of her altered circum-
stances. She soon, however. became a
great favorite through her gentle and Win

reaching the ears of the proprietor of one of
the many summer hotels upon the Isles of
Shoals, she had very tempting offer made
to her in the coming spring to go to the
! islands when the season opened, being prof
fered the position of head waitress. She
accepted, particularly as she felt sure that

would improve her failing health. Before
the summer had fairly begun. she was the
most popular girl in the hotel. Residing
there at the time was wealthy retired
gentleman from Illinois, named Appleby,
} who became greatly attached to the sweet
face of the girl that waited on him, and,
this attachment growing into a stronger
passion, he finally, before leaving for his
home, told her of his love, and, seeing in
him an honorable man, able to protect and
: care for her, she accepted him. He at once
left for the West to prepare for her home
when she came. At the same time he gave
her some $500 to procure her fitting APP
parel, and to enable her to come back to Fall
River and get her two children, when she
was to start at once tor Chicago. Her
return to her old home was genuine sur
prise for all, being all the more cordial OR

HER GOOD FORTUNE.
While here her intended telegraphed heftO
hurry, as his departure from the seaside
had caused return of the bad health he
had come East to avoid. So to expedite
matters she set out at once. She took the
; child the Drews had and. going to the home,
carried off the other child she found there
playing in the yard, without notifying ans
of the inmates. The result was, that after
she departed there was a great sensation
, raised. as the officers of the home, finding
, the child missing, concluded that she had
been kidnapped. This was all during last
: summer. and after three days she arrived
at Chicago to learn that her intended hus-
band had died the day before while she was
. on the road. the news telegraphed of the
sad affair having flashed past her on the
r, way. Thus she found herself with nc
friends and with little money. She found
a boarding place and, after making inqui-
S ries, found that Deadwood, OAK, offered
